LillyPip,

Oh god, the nostalgia.

That rim sucked, though. There was always pudding up under there, and it was a delicate game how much you were willing to get and risk lacerating your tongue.

Also, anyone who was good at this, DM me your info.

I loved these… Does Del Monte even still make pudding?

Jeez. I’m surrounded by kids. That’s the way we ate pudding in the 80s. And we liked it that way!

You don’t get that reference either, do you?

Sigh.

RagingRobot,

Gross. Idk why. It just seems gross lol

Dead_or_Alive,

Pudding in cans was the best, it just tasted better. Juice in glass containers was also amazing. Plastic changes the taste and leaches microplastics into our bodies.

I’m really hoping we as a society get plastic out of our products.

bitwolf,

I got so heated watching one of the congressional hearings where I girl asked Congress to ban single use plastics.

The politician was so condescending and finished off with “we need a solution before banning”.

America had the solution before plastic… Cans and bottles.

macaroni1556,

While I 100% agree with you on the glass, and a can doesn’t change the flavour as much as plastic..

Small cans have this smell (I guess skin oils reacting with the outside metal?) that you can’t ignore when you eat right out of the can

Literally never have understood why a type of container makes something gross to some people.,.

Same thing with color of something. I mean, I at least get that in terms of color X is associated with Y… Just seems strange to me.

Heisenburner,

That doesn’t go with the song at all

You know what song it goes to. The bar was much lower back then.

Some still does.
Je n’ai rien contre une boîte de Mont-Blanc, moi.

tory,

Is that a plastic spoon?

quams69,

Distributed by del monte tomato company, wild

5redie8,

Tbf Del Monte distributes all sorts of fruit/veggie related stuff, at least nowadays (In the United States). Used to go nuts for their peach cups when I was a kid lol

psion1369,

Before I read anything on the can, I was expecting tomato pudding.

LemmyKnowsBest,

You unlocked a core childhood memory. It must have been sometime around the late 1980s pudding started being sold in plastic containers and I forgot they had ever been in cans.

OhmsLawn,

Same. Fruit cocktail, too.

corsicanguppy,

Ohhhh. Fruit cocktail.

Also, in the army it was the pouches of fruit salad or pears. If you lucked out and got that in your box, you could trade for a lot to the poor sap who got cherry pie and “lung in a bag” isn’t doing it for them.

S_204,

I just popped open a can of fruit cocktail for the kids yesterday. It’s a 350ml can, not a single serve. We portion into mini mason jars.

Oh ! I misunderstood the post. I thought it was about powdered pudding being most variety in the stores. There is still canned pudding and fruit coktail in France but also some in plastic.

TheControlled,

“…and the taste is always shit”

I’m more surprised that Del Monte used to sell pudding.

s_s,

When you don’t have fresh fruits for the canning line, you can keep the lines busy with another product you mix up from a shelf stable powder…pudding.

Years ago, after a family camping trip, we stopped at a café for Lunch on our way home. My father, my Brother and I all saw Sticky Date Pudding on the menu and decided to order it as desert.

It was the most amazing Sticky Date Pudding we had ever had, it was the right balance of moist and dry, the caramel sauce was just the right balance of sweet, salt and tart without being decadent and the date was just the right consistency, not rubbery but with just the right consistency.

We asked the waiter about it and they told the chef. The chef came out to give us the recipe and pulled out a Tinned Pudding. All he had done was cracked the tin, poured it out and put a scoop of vanilla gelato on the side.

caut_R,

Unbelievable that the chef told you lol

Zoboomafoo,

I think he didn’t want to take any credit for a dessert he didn’t make

RIP_Cheems,
@RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world avatar

Not trying to be rude, but what did you think they used to come in?

s_s,

Box mix.

SpaceNoodle,

They used to just squeeze it right into your open hands.
